Some of the Ryan Field engineers gave a site tour last Thursday, showing off the work on the new stadium's foundations. Here is a brief view of the current site.
Ryan Field II Foundation Update
Re: live cam-- I asked this during demolition. A well-connected source told me that the crew was about to install one. However, it never happened. I suspect there might be a legal issue, maybe liability or union-based. Not sure.This is terrific. Thanks so much for sharing. Has there been any thought to adding a live construction cam where progress can be viewed in real-time?
The crews expected a couple of boulders from the ridge, but they were surprised at the extent. This map shows just the east side. They updated it a few days before the tour; it was already out of date by Thursday. Crews had already encountered several more by then.I found interesting the mention of boulders being removed during the installation of the cassions and anchors. I would have assumed that the soil is mainly sand, but the Ice Age must have left a significant glacial moraine (Ridge St) with lots of boulders all around.
